The government of Nepal and Maoist guerrillas have signed a historic peace accord, declaring a formal end to a 10-year rebel insurgency.

... so my 36th birthday paled into insignificance yesterday....

Today (22^nd) is being declared a public holiday - although still going to the office (FEDO) as there will be people there, things to talk about... and probably some work to do!

Will write full journal up at the weekend and put up some photos of my latest goings on...

• Completed Vipassana (including 10 days "noble silence")
• Turned 36, celebrated with a mountain flight around Everest
• Probably got job back in uk (at Getronics, offer/paperwork being finalised)
• Got somewhere to live in uk (with Sean in Wolverton, MK)
• Booked more trekking (Ghorepani at start of January)

So all in all an eventful week.... hope and pray that the deal holds....

TTFN,
